I decided that I like using this cleanser as my morning cleanser because it doesn't lather and at night I like to use a cleansing balm followed by a gel cleanser that lathers to remove the day from my skin. Now having said that, I absolutely love this cleanser to start my day with. I find it very gentle and hydrating. It has a light citrusy botanical smell which I love and it's so easy to rinse of Alicia D. · beautycrew.com.au

This Ultra Gentle cleanser by Neutrogena is truly gentle! While it may not keep me from experiencing any dryness ever, mine is typically minimal if and when I do experience any. This is one of the first facial cleansers to really clean my skin while also maintaining my skin barrier/sebum levels, aka preventing dryness. I’ve tried many different facial washes and cleansers but this one will always Elle · Target
